Seller Found

In the previous post, I ruminated regarding the whereabouts of my seller. We have a home for sale in the Parkmont area of Fremont. http://www.tricityhome.com What's more, we had two offers, and he was nowhere to be found. Well, the good news is that he has been found. The bad or indifferent news is that he is close to where I thought he was. He is in Indonesia. Now there's an "out of the area" seller, or "super absentee owner" for you.

All kidding aside, he assured me that all will be taken care of on account that he is well astute to high-tech communications. We will see how it goes.

If you are interested, a little jewel I gleaned from this experience is that the Indonesia AT&T access code to dial Bank of America's short sale division from Indonesia to here via toll-free is 00180110, so dial 00180110 then the toll free number without the 1 in the 1-866. You just dial 866 880 1232 after the code. That's for the post Countrywide pre B of A line at that number. If you had an original B of A loan not the Countrywide loan before the merger you dial the code as above, then you use 866 413 3757.

If you happen to be in Indonesia and the code fails to work for you--the B of A non 800 number is: 704 386 5681. They can transfer you to short sales. (imagine the phone bill you would have just for listening to their muzak while on hold) Yikes!

about me

Jeff Pereyda was born in San Francisco
in the 60's then raised in Sunnyvale during the mid 60's on through
the 80's.

Growing up in the Bay Area and thanks
to his parent's unique hobby of surf fishing, Jeff learned his
long-time passion for surf fishing from his parents who carted him up
and down the coast at an early age hitting California's hot spots.
Jeff recalls one of the most important things he learned from his
mom. “My mom always said, 'you always have to have at least one eye
on the waves.' They're unpredictable at times.” Later, in his
twenties, and after earning a degree in Marketing, Management and
Sales, Jeff went on to study at San Jose Christian College and now
holds a Bachelor's Degree in liberal studies. After returning to the
work force, Jeff later studied to become a California real estate
broker. “Professionally speaking,” Jeff continues, “real estate
is a lot like the surf. The real estate market has its definite
crests and troughs, but it can be unpredictable. You have to always
keep an eye on it too.”

Jeff has earned the International
Diamond Award from Coldwell Banker in 2014 and has been in the top
10% in his office. At present, Jeff continues to provide personal
attention to detail in all his real estate transactions and has been
quite successful in his property management portfolio as well.

During his personal time off, Jeff
enjoys surf fishing and brewing hand crafted beer using his very own
DIY recirculating infusion mash system in the back yard of his custom
Livermore home. Life is good,and if you ask, he'll be happy to share.
